Gears of War Creative Designer Claims His Game Is Appealing to Women


Just imagine if popping Gears of War 3 into your Xbox 360 could bring this woman over to your pad. Well, according to Epic Games Design Director Cliffy B, it can. That's right, Epic Games claims that their game can get women to play your copy of Gears of War 3.

How exactly does Gears of War 3 do this, you say? Well, Epic Games have chosen to take the female role's of their Gears 'a little more seriously.' This means that Lara Croft is finally out of the picture. Bleszinski touched on the fact that gaming in this area is making a change and in his words 'growing up' or 'maturing.' He said that when you take a look at the newest iteration of Tomb Raider, you'll notice first off that Lara Croft isn't going to grow old to have back problems. Bleszinski felt it necessary to treat his females Gears this way and both Anya and Sam are a little smaller around the chest than Lara Croft was. Bleszinski feels that this serious look into Gears of War 3 development has helped bring in the female gamer. We, respectfully disagree and are still getting attention from the female subjection to Uncharted 2. Its just hard to see. Bleszinski felt as well that Sony marketed Quantic Dream's game to the wrong audience and that Sony should have gone after the female market. So, what is Sony now, Nintendo?

During our recent playthrough of Gears of War 3, we loved every last moment of the game. The stylish graphics, the scale, the tight control's and an excellent final boss to finish off an amazing trilogy but, we can't really see why our woman is going to play this game or get into this series Cliffy B. We must have missed something? The end of the story though is this. Gears of War is an ABSOLUTE MUST PLAY if you own an Xbox 360 but, I don't think you want to bring your girlfriend or significant other in on this one. Perhaps Dance Central, Catherine, maybe he's right about Heavy Rain, Beautiful Katamari or Mario but, well, this just isn't a game you're gonna get Kristen Bell to sit next to you and watch. Have you not seen 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall?' She dumped his can for never getting off the couch. We know and understand guys want girls, but subjecting them to 5 minutes of Gears of War 3 will Sam Byrne walking across the screen isn't going to turn that five minutes into a half hour, hour or nine hours of gameplay time. Five minutes will be about as much as she can handle before she wants to stroll through Central Park or go a club, or something else.

Gears of War 3 is available now exclusively for Xbox 360! If you have an Xbox 360, what are you waiting for, go get it! Curb stomp your enemies and listen to your friends cry like a little girl when you take them to school. Well, alright, I guess little girls do play Gears of War. Forget everything you've just read.
